Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[David Langenberg <>]

Hi Neils,

Right now we're in the exploratory phase for what SCIM would look like within 
Grouper.  Would we, for instance replace the SPML in the PSP with SCIM or 
just make a module that would do basically SPML -> SCIM -> downstream 
consumer.  

This is being presently tracked at 
https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-885

As we have not established a clear goal for SCIM we do not yet have any 
timeline around implementation.
